It does seem that Portugal have normally done well in situations where they aren't favored, even back then. I guess it was probably the same situation back in '66 even with Eusebio. That has to be one of our biggest advantages: getting written off by the teams that have more talent on paper. Then, we surprise everyone on the field. Not taking your opponent seriously is a bad mistake no matter what level of competition you play in.
One more thing I'll say is that it certainly does seem that there are certain countries whose style of play we can't deal with. France, Germany, and Greece are three teams that will always make me nervous. Even though Holland and Denmark are tough teams (especially knowing how Denmark manhandled us in Copenhagen at the end of qualifying), I just don't freak out about them like I do about Germany.
Forca Portugal, we'll continue to surprise everyone, just like we always have.
